that high output alternator one is pretty common actually. people think it means more voltage, not knowing voltage from current, or really anything about electricity.
here's a conversation I had over the last few days with someone on another board:

fwd is limited to 250bhp useful power, rwd you're looking more towards 500bhp, thats for general drive-ability

>>70908
mostly truth, but I have 654HP and it's completely docile on the street. I know of RWD cars with over 1200HP that are very streetable, as well. eight-second cars, and driven quite often. Lots of factors that play into that though, and how much of that power you use in daily driving is another matter entirely. That episode of Pinks with the Civic and the Firebird was good though. each with 600HP, and the Civic got spanked bigtime, even with slicks and all 35lbs of boost it had. It couldn't compete with an equally powered RWD car even when both were 'tuned' for the exact same event.

What rwd car will possibly have that much and still remain streetable...
Unless theres a gigantic turbo or blower attached it just isnt going to happen on pump gas.
Compression with iron heads is limited to pretty much 10-10.5, aluminum is arround 11.5 running on 93 octane.
Im calling bs on this post, show a dyno sheet!
Just isnt going to happen on a streetcar with less than a 600cubic inch motor.
(I then posted dyno sheets, charts, and images of the Charger, along with a detailed list of the drivetrain specs.)

He also explained to me that it was because of his political ambition that he was
poisoned,that I should seek for a foreign partner in a country of my choice where I will transfer the money and use it for investment purpose to better my life.
I am honourably seeking for your assistance in the following ways.

2) To provide a bank account where this money would be transferred.

Referring to the HP to drivetrain:
You can't really say that it's X amount of HP that FWD or RWD becomes difficult to drive. You have to factor in the tire grip strength, wheel rotating mass, drivetrain mass, flywheel mass, clutch (if manual), and gross vehicle weight.
